Wish your prompt displayed more information, but afraid of cluttering your prompt? Statusline is a responsive zsh theme that provides informational segments when you need them. For example, statusline only displays your user and machine names when you are in a remote shell. Likewise, task runtimes are only shown when they exceed ten seconds, the current working directory is dynamically shortened to fit onscreen, and more! Statusline is designed for solarized, and is compatible with the default OS X Terminal.app.
(The prezto version's installer checks for and installs all prerequisites)

When the length of the working directory exceeds that of the terminal, subdirectories up to (but not including) the tail directory are shortened to their first letter. In order to use this, directory must be last in the left-hand prompt. Note that only the minimum number of directories necessary are shortened.

Since the prezto version uses certain prezto modules which are not present in oh-my-zsh, missing features were ported to the oh-my-zsh version. This includes asynchronous git status loading, which was ported from prezto's git-info, and the customizable settings. However, the settings are not exposed by oh-my-zsh, so customization is may be difficult. Also, the key-binding color indicator is currently not supported in this version.
